Date of Visit: July 31 – August 1, 2017

How we got there: Drove from Halifax, about 3.5 hours direct.

Lodging: Point Wolfe Campground (site 68)

Favorites:

  • Dickson Falls Trail – Short, mostly boardwalk loop through a cool, lush forest to a waterfall view.
  • Shiphaven Trail to Covered Bridge – Nice walk near our campground along a wooded ridge overlooking the ocean. Leads to an overlook of the Point Wolfe River estuary and a covered bridge.
  • Caribou Plain Trail – Short boardwalk loop or longer loop trail through a variety of forest ecosystems and a bog filled with frogs. Named after Caribou, but Moose are a more frequent sight here now.

Tips: Make sure to stop at nearby Hopewell Rocks park for a fascinating view of bizarre rock formations created by the famous Bay of Fundy tides.
